Mod Todis the latest by Sheri Berry.Sheri's not a new fabric designer,but new to Riley Blake.Her whimiscal, retro images are absolutely charming.If you like Halloween, check out her site,before they take it down.

My littlies are only young and we have made ginger bread cookies in different shapes of Christmas. eg trees, angels. You can decorate with lollies, sprinkles, jelly crystals on the angels wings........

I think you should make a mix...you need chex mix cereal - corn/rice...peanuts, m&m's or reese pieces, small pretzel bits and then a couple bags of the white chocolate disks that you melt.

Mix the stuff up together in a pan, melt the disks according to package, pour over the mixture and then place on wax paper to cool. It's a great sweet tweet. You just break it into pieces when you're done. I make this every Christmas. =) If you buy the red/green m&m's it's really festive. =)

Well, since I have 3 daughters, I'd choose Daisy Cottage (although I have loved many of Sheri Berri's lines especially those Halloween and Christmas ones). Maybe if I chose Mod Tod I'd have a boy next time;)

How about these jelly bean Christmas trees? I love the Disney Family Fun site and subscribe to the magazine. http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/jelly-bean-christmas-trees-804005/

I think all the fabric is beautiful, and it is so hard to choose one,but if I am the lucky winner, it would have to be So Sophie.And of course the treat for the boys would have to be chocolate chip cookies home made and fresh from the oven!Enjoy!

since i'm having a boy in february, and seriously lacking in the boyish fabrics thanks to my two girls, i'd have to go with mod tod - how cute!

as far as making a treat - i always love peppermint and chocolate around the holidays, and last year i discovered pampered chef's peppermint bark recipe, and it's SOOO good, and would be easy to make with kids. they get to pound and crush candy canes - i think they'd love it. :) here's the link http://www.pamperedchef.com/our_products/recipesearch/recipedetail.jsp?recipeId=95174

I like Mod Tod -- I think my nearly two-year-old grandson would too!! As for the treat to make with your cub scouts, what about the little Christmas mice? Dip a maraschino cherry in melted chocolate (for mouse aesthetics it's important that the tail...er, stem...be intact), add a Hershey's kiss for the head, almond slivers for the ears, and a little decorative frosting or gel for the eyes. I've seen them set on an Oreo halfshell. Very, very cute!! Use green and red gel for a little holly effect. :)

I would LOVE Mod Tod, so cute!Chocolate covered pretzels covered in autumn sprinkles, my little ones love making them and they taste yumm-o!Thanks for another great giveaway!Jen Nelsondarryljenny@comcast.net

I love the Mod Tod! What to make for a hungry little troop of scouts? Hmmmm. I am agreeing with the girls above... I have a soft sugar cookie recipe that is always a stand by hit. Plus, the kids like the variety of shapes. Or, you could make caramel corn coated in white chocolate, which is always popular. :)

My pick would be So Sophie. I spent many years as a Cub Scout leader. Hmmm...... easy treats, huh? Peanut blossom cookies? Or Peanut Butter Temptations - it's peanut butter cookie dough, baked in mini muffin pans, and then you put a miniature Reese's in the center of each right after you take them out of the oven. They are favorites around here. Thanks for the chance to win!

I love the pink collection that is sitting on the top of the others...I think it's Daisy cottage. Yup, that would be my choice. As for a treat to make with the kids, 'No Bake' cookies always go over well here. With the cocoa, peanut butter and oatmeal. I don't have the recipe close at hand just now but it is very easy, fast prep time and as soon as you take them out of the pan and drop them on the wax paper, you can eat them...just let them cool a bit of course, LOL. Fun to make and even more fun to eat. Hugs...

hmm. i have a baby girl quilt to make soon - but seriously, daisy cottage, promenade or so sophie would all work. if i had to commit, i'd probably go with daisy cottage.

treat to make with cub scouts? take big marshmallows, poke a skewer into them, dip most of the way into melted chocolate, then dip into crushed peppermints. wrap in cellophane, and you have some fantastic hot chocolate stirrers. the marshmallow, chocolate and peppermint all melt when you stir with this, making your hot chocolate delish!

I like Daisy Cottage best...greys and pinks are really doing it for me right now. And how about something with pumpkin in it? I made pumpkin cake a couple weeks ago and my kids loved it! And it doesn't take forever to bake since I used a cookie sheet.

Boy Scouts...hm...haven't had a boy scout in the house for a long time...How about buying cheap 4 inch floor tiles and have them mod podge some pretty papers on them for coasters for their parents... You might even get a store to donate some odd lot of tiles..

Daisy Cottage would be my choice. As for the christmas treat I'd make cookies or what about a few christmas tree ornaments made of fabric or paper? Perhaps some little stars? Thanks for the giveaway!Greetings from germany,Hildyhildy@ebertzeder.de

As for what to make with your cub scouts, how about some Christmas colour themed Rocky Road? White chocolate, red & green jelly snakes (or other jelly lollies or how about cranberry/pistachio!) and marshmallows. Super fun & easy :)

Daisy Cottage is my favorite. A treat with the Cub Scouts? How about Faux Turtles, knot pretzel topped with a rolo warmed in the oven then a pecan/walnut half pressed into it. Store in fridge or cool spot.

I used to be a cub scout pack master! We had five dens in our pack.I actually did these: spread peanut butter between two vanilla wafers and then dip only halfway into melted chocolate chips (no ouchy fingers then). Can put Christmas sprinkles in the wet chocolate if you like, or leave 'em plain! Have fun with your cubs!

I would love Mod Tod! My favorite treat to make with kids: you unwrap rolo's put them in a warm (170-200 deg) oven for a few minutes (just until they soften slightly, but aren't melty) put them on a pretzel and the squish an almond on top of them. Very turtle like and yyummy!

So Sophie or Daisy Cottage would be my choice:) The Christmas treats - decorated sugar cookies would be the easiest probably. But making "candy cane" cookies was always fun for us growing up. 1/2 dough is redish and other half is regular. You roll thin strips of each and roll/twist together to make the stripes, place on pan in the shape of a candy cane and bake. When they come out of the oven sprinkle a sugar and crushed peppermint mix on top. Yummy!

Decadence for me. As far as a treat- My kids love a mix of goldfish, pretzel goldfish and m&m's. I have also taken pretzel rods, dipped them in melted chocolate and then let them roll them in sprinkles, coconut, etc. It looks like you have lots of great ideas.

There are some no-bake chocolate cookies we used to make when I was little. They were so good! I made them in college and everyone made poop jokes because they were just brown lumps, but amazingly enough we didn't get that yucky as kids.

I like daisy cottage as I like lori holt. for a thing to do with cub scouts how about rice crispies. make them up and then let them mold them as they like and decorate them with other things. linda gerig@sbcglobal.net

Love that Daisy Cottage! As for the scouts, I'd buy a box of Fiddle Faddle or other crunchy sweet popcorn and then melt white and/or chocolate chips in a sandwich bag and let them squiggle it over the popcorn. It's fancy looking and yummy!

Oooohhh I'd love to have Promenade! It is gorgeous! May I suggest chocolate covered peanut butter balls for your treat? It's pretty easy, but time consuming. Should go faster with lots of little hands to roll the balls!

If you don't do chex muddy buddies, I'll be SO disappointed! Use the 2 gallon zip locks, they are so so handy for the mixing. I think I'd choose So Sophie, but I'm not sure. If I win could I view them in person, before I decide!???Thanks, Corrie. See you in two weeks.

I love Sophie! For a treat to make with scouts? How about something simple and festive like thumbprint cookies? The shapes are the same, and after the little indentation is made, it is filled with different kinds of jam - cute and not too complicated.

I love the Daisy cottage. For the Boy Scout treat, what about mini pretzels with a melted Rolo chocolate on top. It is easy, takes only minutes with little mess. I make cookie sheets full for my four Grandson's. Then put them in a small bag and tie with Christmas ribbon.

All the charm packs are great! I really like Daisy Cottage. Your scouts could make a Chex cereal snack. Use the cereal, small pretzel twists, peanuts or cashews, Christmas M&M's, Christmas sprinkles and white chocolate chips. Melt the chocolate chips and pour over the other ingredients, mix together and then pour out onto wax paper. When they are cool and set, break apart, if necessary, and put into containers. Another one is to put pretzels on a cookie sheet, add a chocolate candy disc to the top, place in oven until the disc starts to melt. Take them out and while still warm, place 1 or 2 Christmas M&M's on top of the chocolate. Good luck and thanks for the giveaway.

1. Promenade!2. How about making a gingerbread house using graham crackers and some Royal icing. This was always a big hit with my daughter. The kids could bring a bag of extras, M & Ms, gumdrops, etc, to share with the group to decorate their houses.

I'd pic Mod Tod - too cute.Christmas treat....S'mores Marshmellows....take large marshmellows and poke small straight pretzel sticks into each one. Dip them in melted chocolate and then roll them in crushed graham crackers. Lay out on wax paper and let set up in the fridge for about an hour then enjoy! They are very addictive! Jenn

Make "reindeer noses"- let them fill a zip top bag with 8 malted milk balls and one fireball (for Rudolph) and then have pre-printed "Reindeer noses" cardstock pieces that the can color, cut out, and staple to the top of the package. Great gifts they can give to teachers, friends and family.

I love the Mod Tod, that is really a fun print.I used to like making chocolate fudge cookies, they are heat on the stove and then drop on wax paper, so easy to do with kids and delicious. Not sure what the real name is for them, but I do have a recipe.

I'd love Daisy Cottage. The pinks and grays are wonderful! How about providing the fellas with a few mini cupcakes and having frosting and sprinkles and other decorations and letting them create. They could take them home and share with their own families.

Oh what lovely fabrics. I would choose Daisy Cottage. :0) I love the focus on a charming home filled with love. :0)I would make a gingerbread house or houses. They could be so creative with a yummy creation. I hope you will tell us what you choose to make. :0)Have a great day. Hugs. Trish

1. I like the MOD TOD collection best.2. With cub scouts, you could make Christmas cookies by using your favorite choc chip cookie recipe and substitute the choc chips and nuts with dried cranberries (red) and pistachios (green). Gingerbread men cookies decorated as cub scouts would also be fun.

So Sophie is soo cute! I just came across this recipe for marshmallow snowmen - NO Baking and you could use a pot set into an electric skillet filled with a bit of water to melt the chocolate if you don't have access to a stove. Here's the link: http://www.bhg.com/recipe/cookies/marshmallow-snowmen/

I think I would choose Mod Tod, I have a couple of baby quilts I need to make. :)Get the BIG bag o' pretzels at Costco (these work best because their openings are not as big as the same sort of pretzel you get in smaller bags at the grocery store)and since you are at Costco anyway get a BIG bag of chocolate chips,get a few bags of PLAIN holiday M&M's, cover a cookie sheet (with sides)with foil. lay a single layer of pretzels on the sheet (fill the tray completely). Put a chocolate chip in each pretzel opening. Put in a low heat oven (200 degrees or so) just until the choc chips start to get melty. Bring the tray out and now put a Christmas colored M&M on top of each choc chip. Let them set up (you can pop them in the fridge to speed up the process). My kids (yes they are in college now but still...) KNOW that they must have red & green M&M's in each pretzel. You can't have all red, or all green. I'll make you do them over. Seriously! :DSweet, chocolatey and salty. YUMMMMMcjnid AT imaxmail DOT net

Ohh they are all wonderful. I think So Sophie would be my first choice.I always made the sugar cookies and let the Cub Scouts decorate them. They had a blast and kept the mess contained with paper plates. ;) We'd let them each do 6 cookies, eat one and take 5 home. LOLThanks for the fun!

I just love Daisy Cottage! Lori is such a creative gal. M & M cookies are always fun to make. The Scouts can put the M & M's on top of chocolate chip cookies recipe. They come out so pretty. And good too :-)

I love all of the fabrics! An easy yummy holiday treat is to use pretzels, hershey kisses and m&m's. Here is the link for it. http://houseonhilltop.wordpress.com/2010/12/15/our-favorite-christmas-treat/Thanks,~Cindy Schwabenland (Craftynana)

Daisy Cottage for me please.I was going to suggest a fun treat for the Boy Scounts called Puppy Chow using Chex mix and serving in a huge dog bowl....HOWEVER given it uses peanut butter likely not a good idea for those boys who suffer from a peanut allergy like mine. The kids get a real kick out of the dog bowl treat!!My other suggestion is simply pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate to coat with sprinkles. Kids love those sprinkes. Thanks for the chance

I love them all but will pick Decadence if I have to. *smile*Christmas treat with boy scouts....make rice crispy cookies, cut out with christmas tree cookie cutter, then decorate the tree with icing and small candies....it's always fun and they can be creative! *smile*

I love the So Sophie collection. A very easy, no flour required recipe is Peanut Butter Sugar Cookies (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/best-peanut-butter-cookies-ever/detail.aspx). So easy and so few ingredients!

Last year I made some really cute and easy cookies with my kids (all 5 of them!!) You can check it out here: http://midwesterngoneidahoan.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-cookie-exchange-pleasant-home.html

I love love love Daisy Cottage. I hope to own some of it somehow. Not in my budget, though. How about making snowmen with marshmellows and other edibles like pretzel sticks? Maybe some frosting to help hold the M&M eyes on? Good luck with that. :)

My son is in cubs and last night they did sausages wrapped in cabbage leaves with vegies all wrapped in a foil parcel and cooked in the coals of a fire, and then they got little cans with air holes cut around the bottom and sat it over a tealight candle and cooked mini pancakes on the can - they all thought that was very cool! :)

One of my favorites when I was younger and a easy one is what my family called haystacks. Melt a bag of butterscotch chips. Dump in some peanuts and some of those crunchy Chinese chow mein noodles and mix. Drop by spoonful on wax paper and let harden up. Easy and yummy!
